BeyondInsight / Password Safe

Looks like BeyondTrust Docs is migrated to a new document hosting solution and it is missing some of the documentation when compare to earlier documentation.  For example: Database Scan Account Creation, scan and functional account required permissions for Linux/Unix assets 

Customer recently updated Windows 11 version from 23h2 to 24h2. After the update, single user is facing an RDP graphics issue. As per the KB article for cloud password safe  https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0021625, we have to make gfx registry changes.but for other users its working fine. As it's a global setting for all users, if we make the changes, does it disturb the RDP launch for the other user??

We implemented Password Safe for our dedicated domain admin accounts in May/2024. At the time, we experienced some frequent lockout issues with these accounts, but nothing that couldn’t be explained or resolved by simple process changes for users (i.e. forgetting to sign out of systems before the password release expires). In Sept/2024, we saw an uptick in lockout frequency with these accounts that couldn’t be explained. Most of the lockout events occurred on the Windows machines users were in possession of rather than from accessing a remote VM like we saw in the past, (aside from some of our support staff who encountered lockouts from end user machines they had previously worked with and used their credentials to establish a remote support session via Teamviewer). Lockouts occur multiple times a day regardless of a reboot on the problem device. No processes are found running with dedicated admin account on the machine, yet ongoing lockout events on the account continue to r

We have several issues, and resolving them would be very easy if we can get information from the users session request, specifically duration. we have turned off ESA and log off on disconnect due to business use requirements so if a user does not sign out of an RDO session properly the privileged account will become locked after password safe does a post release password reset. in the most recent case the user is getting locked out and we find this through a daily lockout report from our SEIM. the user is notified and claps back that she has not been on the machine in days. in researching we see she accessed this sever and failed to logout properly 7 days earlier. we assume the user requested this session for 7 days, however the user does not remember. we would like to address this but with no solid evidence we cannot do that. any suggestions?

How to Control Concurrent logins to Beyondtrust Passwordsafe? Example: If a user is trying to login using his laptop to bt passwordsafe console and if goes and logs in to another machine that should logout the other session and making this active session. Can we do this in BT passwordsafe?

  Password safe physical appliane comes with 4 network cards. It is possible to have more than one network card in virtual appliance? Can we have more IP adressess for one network card in virtual appliance? If yes, where can I found the documentation? Thanks.

On user interface there are many fields which allows users to enter clear text info. We have seen users adding passwords, secrets, credentials entering these fields which also get stored as clear text in DB. We want to stop / prevent users submitting such info from UI. 1) How do we configure / control this? 2) How do we change label of such fields to warn users not to enter such info 3) How do we add a custom banner to warn / alert users not to enter sensitive info anywhere in WPM / Secret Safe / Password Safe? We were able to add similar banner in ERPM PI. We need such customization for Password Safe / WPM and Secret Safe.

We are moving from ERPM PI to Workforce Password Manager (24.2.1.104). To have easy adoption of WPM, its important for us to provide some migration utility from PI to WPM during initial setup. It will be really bad for us to go back to end users telling we are moving to new product and now you migrate your own accounts to new product after using ERPM PI for years. What are the various options (partial or full migration). We need this to plan adoption strategies.

Hi there,I'm trying to get the latest vulnerabilities for BeyondTrust Password Safe (PS). I found this link: https://www.beyondtrust.com/trust-center/security-advisories, but the last advisory for Password Safe seems to be almost six months old.Is there a database or mailing list/RSS feed that provides more up-to-date vulnerability information for this solution?

Hello Guys, I’m new to BeyondTrust world but have fair understanding of PAM architecture.I’m trying to understand the RDS server role in the Password Safe Cloud architecture. The current architecture shared by BT emphasises on Resource Broker and thats where I have clear understanding of Resource Broker from application & network perspective. However, RDS Server is not covered in detailed in any document or article. I only understand that RDS Server is required for session management for non RDS/SSH connections. But, where does it fit in the architecture?I assume the flow of Database session management may look like:End user Workstation -→ Resource Broker (TCP/4489)  -→ RDS Server (TCP/3389)   --→ Database (e.g. TCP 1521/1433) I’m keen to understand below points with respect to RDS Server:Network requirements for RDS Server. Does it connect to any other component (PS Cloud) except Resource Broker & ta

Starting December 18, 2024, the BeyondTrust Product Update Server will change from Imperva cloud protection to CloudFlare cloud protection.  To receive updates, you must add the Cloudflare IP addresses to your firewall allow lists. To view the list of IP addresses, refer to https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/.  Additionally, if using domain allow listing, the below can be used: *.cdn.cloudflare.net.

I'm trying to manage AD accounts via Smart Rule, however, I select Directory Query and then when I select the domain nothing comes back, I've already added the domain in “Domain Management”, what else could it be?

I have a windows 2019 server enabled with RDS services and password safe for users that need to have privileged access to cloud apps that are onboarded as enterprise apps in Entra / Azure. How can i give users a single on sign experience when they do not have access to the account password? I am trying to avoid published apps and keep my admin overheads as low as possible.Has any here been able to make this happen? I had something running to support this when we had ADFS, but sadly we have moved on.

Anyone has setup RDCMAN tool ( the microsoft remote desktop manager tool) for multiple servers via script or csv? We have 1000 servers to configure, any way to do automate the import or the connection string configurations?

Hi everyone, hope y’all having a great holiday season so far! We’ve been reading non stop KB0017007 and could not get to work the LDAPs with the rotation of accounts. All of this was detected by a customer that captured the traffic between Password Safe and their AD and saw the credentials when the appliance rotated the passwords. We tried every extention of Certificates (PBX,Cert,etc) and nothing could seem to work, so I come forward asking for some experience from everyone. Best practices say the UVM should not not be added to the AD (due to possbile GPO issues and other), and the customer uses a “*.customer.com” (wildcard) certificate for their whole roster of Servers, dont know how that pans out here. Ports are ok, so far. So, connectivity issues are the least t
